So just that I understand this correctly: I need steam to buy it, but after that it launches without steam after I download the installer? Like on gog?

If yes, holy shit, I would have never expected this from EA!! Last time I checked this company was pure scum, but this is a surprisingly nice move!

Not exactly, you need Steam to install it, but then per PCGW's wiki:

DRM-free when launched directly via \SwGame\Binaries\Win64\SwGame-Win64-Shipping.exe while EA app is not installed.
